The product meets all quality criteria and manufacturing specifications prior to release.The system one user guide includes fluid overload as a known and common risk associated with hemodialysis therapy and warns that hemodialysis may result in significant changes in the blood concentration of electrolytes and glucose and in the patient¿s volume status.Appropriate monitoring of the patient¿s hemodynamic, fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance should be performed regularly, per physician orders, to ensure appropriate response to therapy.Failure to do so could result in inappropriate therapy for the patient.
